The context is: music to give a Korean, that is representative of Canadian music.

The most relevant, bang-on post of this thread.
Though for Bryan Adams, perhaps Summer of '69 or Cuts Like a Knife instead.
And Canadian music in the eighties cannot be represented without Loverboy, so perhaps a Heaven in Your Eyes (from Top Gun movie soundtrack) |

I love Canadian music, but most of the stuff I'd name would probably send your average Korean to hide under their desk.
I will however add a couple:
Age of Electric - Ugly
Headstones - Unsound
If you can get the Hard Core Logo soundtrack, there are a lot of great tracks on there by some of the musicians you already listed. |
My friend's old band has a song on that soundtrack. |
Or rather the mock tribute album.

Nice, which band? |

To help you out a bit, the song is actually called OAO.
An even better Edmonton ska band is the Operators. |

Metric has some great stuff. I posted their "Monster Hospital" in the Video of the Day thread if anyone is interested.
I think Emily Haines is working on a solo album now- I suppose you can google to find out more. |

oao?
thanks. I was really, really, really "At North Country Fair" (you know what I mean?) when I heard that song and had a weird experience
I've heard of The Operators but didn't see a lot of live music at THAT time.[/code] |

Yeah, Mad Bomber Society always play North Country Fair. I'm not sure how anyone stays sober enough to perform, let alone concentrate on bands. |

Sons Of Freedom. Have to be one of the loudest bands ever. Songs such as Call Me, Monkey Cage, Super Criminal are fantastic. The band was great to see live. Not many bands can attain that energy in a show. Records never caught the sound of a live show.
How about tThe Payolas. Their songs, China Boys, Eyes of a Stranger, and Christmas is Coming are great tunes to listen to.
I noticed a lot of other great picks.
Many other songs, but can't recall off the top of my head at the moment. |

I'm heading back home next week and I promised a korean coworker that I'd make her a cd of Canadian music before I go. This is not supposed to be representative of the country or anything like that but I want it to be a cd of good music. I know that is very subjective, and ultimately I'll decide on what goes on the disc but I'd appreciate it if you'd give me some suggestions on what you think are good Canadian songs. The bigger the pool I have to choose from, the better the selections.
This is what I came up with so far:
The Hip - Wheat Kings/New Orleans is Sinking
Neil Young - RITFW/Powderfinger/helpless/after the goldrush
Joel Plaskett - True Patriot Love/Oh my soul
The Band - Dixie/Up on Cripple Creek/Makes No Difference
Rheostatics - Shack in the Cornfields/Easy To Be With You/Saskatchewan
Arcade Fire - power out/wake up
Joni mitchell - Big Yellow Taxi/carey
Gordon Lightfoot - Sundown
Blue Rodeo - 5 Days in May
Cowboy Junkies - Misguided Angel
sloan - Underwhelmed/bells on
sarah Mclachlan - path of thorns
bare naked ladies - lovers in a dangerous time (yes, its' better than Bruce's version and you know it)
rush - closer to the heart
hayden - dynamite walls
eric's trip - Behind the Garage
spirit of the west - home for a rest
5440 - i go blind
sarah harmer - escarpment blues |
eric's trip - Behind the Garage
(used to talk about music with their drummer a lot...no, not my friend. When the band was still together, he worked behind the counter at Sam's in Moncton (when the band wasn't on tour, of course.)
In any case, I can't believe nobody has mentioned songs by BTO or Guess Who.

I love Rush. Tom Sawyer's a great song, as well. I used to see Geddy Lee quite a lot when I lived in the beaches in TO........"I'm not worthy!! I'm not worthy!!" |

| No Maritimers here? OK, I'll step up. The soaring anthem "Rise Again" by the Rankin family. Or just about anything by the Cowboy Junkies, the only band I went to see twice. Margo Timmins, I want you, but since you've been with Lou Reed, I'm not so sure. |
